Structure: Granodiorite Stock With Assoc. Faults, Fractures
Deposit: The property is on a minor ridge of faulted (brecciated) and slickensided tertiary lake beds. Abreccia composed of paleozoic sedimentary rocks (jasper, barite, quartz, cerusite) crops out at the upstream end of the ridge (10-30 feet wide). This material contains 60% pb, 2-3 oz/ton au, and up to 240 oz/ton ag. In the outcrop the breccia is firmly comented, underground it is loose and crudely stratified. A 130 ft. Shaft, and a 300 ft. Tunned passing under the outcrop penetrates only tertiary lake beds, therefore, the cap of mineralized breccia on the ridge crest appears to be a result of faulting, or, perhaps more probably from a landslide. (schrader, 1935, p 38) (schrader, 1912, p 144-5) the nearest known similar deposits of this type are 14 miles to the NW (old contact) at the hickey mine, (schrader, 1912, p 145) ; info.src : 1 pub lit breccia contains 60% pb, 2-3 oz/t au, up to 240 oz/ton Ag
Geology: This deposit is 2 miles from the granodiorite - paleozoic contact
